Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman, and Science Versus is coming back in your ears next week.

Yes, that is right. We're going to go on grand adventures to the ends of the earth.

We're going to make a massive hole in some ice to find out when it comes to climate change how screwed are we.

Is the climate spiraling out of our control?

Speaking of things that are out of our control,

microplastics.

I'm cutting some green onions on a plastic cutting board.

And according to Tik-Tock,

that is an extremely dangerous and foolish thing to do.

They say I'm going to be getting a bunch of microplastics from my cutting board.

I'm going to eat them and it's going to be very bad for me.

So how true is that?

We're also tackling inflammation this season.

We know that having too much inflammation can be a troublemaker,

wreaking havoc on your body and your brain. So what causes that nasty

inflammation and how can you tempt it down? I keep hearing about how bad

inflammation is and that all these foods can cause it and make you feel like

crap like potatoes or tuna fish or pasta but is any of that actually true?

From the sexiness of inflammation to the unsexiness of fiber. It's the least

sexy nutrient out there and yet people are saying that it is a game changer for our health.

If only we ate enough of it, then our brains would be amazing,

our guts would be amazing, even our hearts would be amazing.
